Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Adam Stanger's claim against the Department for Work and Pensions. The judgment does not identify the underlying cause or causes of action.
The Tribunal had written to Mr Stanger on 23 June 2026 warning that strike-out was under consideration because he had not complied with Tribunal orders dated 14 August 2024 and the claim had not been actively pursued. He did not respond within the seven-day period or request a hearing. Applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the Tribunal was satisfied that grounds for strike-out applied and that strike-out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3 because a fair trial was not possible during the listed hearing dates. The hearing scheduled for 12–19 October 2026 was cancelled, and no remedy was recorded.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
